good-bye to the land down under

Wow. This post is two months past due, but that's been life lately...crazy! Bruce's boss told him mid-November that we'd be moving back home to Houston November 29th. Yikes! We had a total of 10 days to prepare. It was nuts. I was so exctied at first to be moving home, but then got really sad to be leaving Australia so quickly. We didn't have much time to say good-bye.

The morning we were to leave, our great friends, Jim and Kristen, along with their kids, Nyah and Levi, came and cooked us a huge breakfast. It was the nicest and most thoughtful thing. We love them so much and are missing them tons.

Our wonderful friend, Barbara Stewart, also came over and took us to the airport. She and her family were so good to us while in Australia. We love them very much and we're missing them terribly. They really were our family.

It was a beautiful Spring morning!
The little girls with Barbara. 'Barbara' was Ava's first word :) They just adore her and her 16 year old daughter, Juliana.

We are really hoping that our Aussie friends will come visit us here in Texas. The good thing about the Stewart family is that they are actually from Houston and Barbara is a professor at The University of Houston (teaching via Blackboard distance learning). So...we really look forward to their visits!
